THE HAY CROP.

The failure of the hay crop, which
had been apprehended on account of
the continued dry weather during the
months of May and June, has a better
prospect. Several farmers whose
meadows were covered with only thin,
short grass, caused the same to he cut
two or more weeks ago, giving nature
a chance to try again and grow a
second crop. The splendid showers of
rain which have recently fallen have
given the late mOwn meadows fresh
start, and farmers are heard to express
confidence that those who have pre-
pared for second crop have fair
prospect OF not being disappointed

CHEAP FUEL AND LIGHT.

Cheaper fuel and light have long
been desired as desirable economies.
Great progress has been made in the
matter of cheaper light the last half
century. Oil for light has been used
ever since scripture times, but it was
far more expensive substance for CIV
ing light before the discovery of oil
wells. The tallow candle, since the
memory of many persons now living.
was relied upon chiefly for lighting
dwellings. halls and churches. Candles
of sperm were used by the more
wealthy classes. The reservoirs of
coal oil which in later years have been
brought to the surface have rendered
light abundant and cheap, so that 1t is
no longer burdensome expense to the
poor. The problem of the age has
been, how can fuel be cheapened ?
Next to food it is one of the great per-
plexities of the poorer classes; it is
one Of the necessaries of life, not only
in the colder ATTITUDES of the North,
but is indispensable in all climates.
Scientists have been watching for some
chemical combinations by which cheap
heat can be generated. But there is
encouragement that nature has after
all repositories for supplying this much
needed want.
If the discoveries of gas 10y sinking
wells multiply at the rate they have
done for short time past, cheaper
fuel and light will be an assured fact
in many sections of the country, if not
generally. The discovery of oil wells
was limited for a considerable time,
but ultimately the supply was sufficient
for the whole country, and at cost
bringing it within the reach of all
classes. Among the gas products quite
recently found, those at st. Mary's,
Ohio, one of which wells, it is stated,
produces 100000 cubic feet per day.
The city has decided to become the
owner of this gas plant. which assures
cheap light and fuel. AT Fort Scott,
Arkansas, the twelfth well is now
flowing within u half mile of the cen
ter of the city, settling the question. as
the people believe, of cheap fuel and
light for all the future. At Paoli,
Kansas, the papers say a procession of
$4,000 people have been celebrating
the discovery of large natural gas
well. Such are the more recent state
ments which have appeared, and are
given as We find them.

THE RIGHT TO HISS A SPEAK

and the audience has no alternative
but to sit as patiently as they can until

remedy which has yet been found for
such annoyance is the suppression of
demonstrations favorable or unfavor-

VIOLATORS OF LAW BROUGHT
TO JUSTICE.

The conflict has fairly commenced
between the law abiding citizens and
the men who override the laws. The
following persons were arrested and
brought before Justice Slater on Tues
day, for selling intoxicating drinks at
the 6remen's picnic, on the North side
without license on the Fourth: Christ
Schend, Charles Linderman, John
Driver, Jake Meyers. Each of these
were fined $50, and costs, 1910. Since
the above we learn Jake Gloss, Patrick
Toben, John McKeon and John Ma
honey were afterwards arrested and
brought before Justice Slater for SELL
ing liquor on the fair grounds on the
4th. The three first named were fined
$50 and costs, and John Mahoney had
hiscsSe continued. This gives the total
fines and costs imposed in Justice
Skaters court $S75.9o. 1t was no boys
play, as these prosecutions have often
been heretofore. District Attorney
Paddock is sworn TO obey the law, see
its enforcement, and he is resolved to
do his duty faithfully. 1t is learned
there are quite number of other of
tenders of this kind, vino are liable to
pay the penalty for violating the Ii
cense laws. Drunken boys, it is re-
ported, were seen on the fair grounds,
who obtained liquor from those in the
illegal traffic. The organization Of the
Citizens League was not too soon.

PROHIBITION IN IOWA.

We have on hand communication
from w. Mygatt, Esq, an earnest
friend OF temperance, on the subject of
prohibition in Iowa; also published
letter of Governor Larabee. of that
state, which Mr.. Mygatt wishes us to
publish. The length of Governor
Larabee's letter, although of much
interest in respectto the working of
prohibition in Iowa, precludes its
publication in this paper. From the
we'll known character of Gov. Larabee
his statements will be accepted as re-
liable. He says that the prohibitory
law is being enforced in eighty-five of
the ninety nine counties in the state.
as well as any other laws against
crimes, all malicious reports to the
contrary Notwithstanding" In the
fourteen remaining counties, situated
principally along the Mississippi river,
and containing large towns Astounding
in foreign population, the law is but
partially enforced, and in a few in
stances defantly violated. These
places are, however, yielding gradually
to public sentiment in favor of the
enforcement" Governor Larabee
quotes the testimony of some of the
prominent judges of the courts as to
the decline of crime. One of these
testimonies, among a considerable
number of similar ones, is from Judge
Ruddick, of the 18th Judicial District,
and one of the oldest in the state. In
an official report dated June IL, 1887,
he makes the following statement !:
The jails in this district are now idle,
and IN eight terms of court held by
me, since Jan. /, 1887, there has been
but one indictment presented, and /
think the grand juries have been reas-
onably dillig3nt." Statements from
judges of other judicial districts are
given, furnishing like positive testi-
mony of the disappearance of crime
under the prohibitory laws. From
the many responsible quarters which

has a plaintiveness found among no
other people outside Of the once slave

it is said these jubilee singers are the
original ones, it is simply saying they

years ago.

insincere, and having no purpose, ex-
cept to assume pretense of cleverness.
Examples of frequent occurrence
might be given to illustrate. During
the late warm weather, questions like
the following were not unfrequently
heard: Is the weather hot enough to
please you2" What answer does the
questioner in such an inquiry expect !?
OF course the answer is not expected
to be of any consequence, or worth
hearing, yet the person addressed must
make reply, but it is meaningless and
perhaps an abortiye attempt at With
cism. Questions to which no sensible
reply is expected never ought to be
asked. Then again there is another
kind of forced conversation which is
equally out of place and wanting in
propriety. There is much good CON-
mon sense mixed with irony in the
following from the Philadelphia Ledg-
err:
You can tell well-bred person by
the way she parts from friend. The
fussily, insincere folks, who have very
little in their minds TO say TO each
other, and less reason than most folks
for meeting soon again, are accustomed
to drown the parting moment with a
chorus of " Come up and see u.s." "You
come down." Come soon again p
/" When will you be up?' You'll be
down right soon," ard ola cGpo.
/" Come'n see us soon again." Would
anybody suppose that Il visit or long
talk had passed between these people,
and that usually they merely speak this
hospitable formula for want of some
thing better to say? 1t is not the Gus
tom of good breeding to handy this
give and take when saying goodbye.
People come none sooner for being SO
asked. If you have nothing more to
say to your friend on leaving her, why
should you pretend to beg a speedy
meeting? If you haze enough to say
you will not waste your time in this
parrot-like chatter, which always bears
the marks of vulgarity about it. The
women who indulge in it are the sort
who will keep conductor waiting and
a car full Of passengers looking on
while they exchange sounding goodbye
kisses in public. How hopelessly un-
conscious of the ridiculous such per-
sons are

CHARACTER OF TOWNS AND
CITIES.

Character attaches to town or city,
collectively, the same as to its inhabit-
ants Individually. There are but few
people who would not prefer to reside
in a town having good name than in
one evil spoken of. The citizens
league, now organized and getting in
readiness for action in this city, if sue
cessful. will give character to the city,
and whatever adds to its character in
creases the value of real estate proper
ty. No intelligent person would pay
as much for Il house and lot in city
where Sunday laws are disregarded,
where drinking saloons are allowed to
be kept open at unreasonable hours,
and the laws against selling intoxica-
ting liquors to minors and drunkards
are not enforced. The present citizens
league does not propose 10 interfere
with those who are now legally au
th0rized to sell Intoxicating drinks, bat
it does demand that liquor sellers shall
obey the law just rs other persons are
required to do. That saloon keepers
are a privileged class, to do what the
law prohibits any more than other
citizens, is simply preposterous. We
can tolerate no privileged classes to
violate the statutes for the purpose of
gain. The saloon men and their
friends ought not to complain and call
it persecution because the league will
require the laws shall be respected.
Every good citizen ana property holder
has direct interest in what is pro-
posed to be done. The influence of
temperance aud sobriety on the pros
perity of city is seen by contrasting
different places. Take, for example.
Evanston, thirteen miles this side of
Chicago. It's neat dwellings, handsome
churches. substantial college buildings,
well kept streets and grounds, do not
fail to attract the favorable notice of
strangers. The secret of this prosper
ity is easily explained. The charter
for the Northwestern University, loca-
ted there at the beginning of the town,
interdicted the sale of Intoxicating
liquors within four miles of the Uni.
yersity. The exclusion of intoxicants,
together with the attractions of The
University, was the means of drawing
population of intelligence, refinement
and orderly. Suppose il were possible
for the people of Evanston to procure
repeal of the law prohibiting the sale
of intoXicants in that town, how long
would it be before there would be seen
dilapidated sidewalks and evidences of
unthrift? We have in this city four
teen licensed liquor saloons; they are
here according to law, and there will
be no attempt to interfere with them
while they obey the laws. 1t is proba-
BILE, however, that no far-minded man
can be fonnd who will declare that the
saloons now in this city, or those here
tofore, have ever helped to advance
the prosperity of the city; nor is there
a candid citizen who would express
the deliberate opinion that if all the liq-
uor drinking places were eliminated
the city would run to decay and its
future prosperity be blighted.

Chinese laundrymen in that city have

cheap Chinese labor. at this rate, will
soon die out.
